5. Chapter 15: Energy M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 15: ENERGY Euratom Treaty: Euratom Treaty: Nuclear energy development Energy Development Strategy of Montenegro until 2025 year (2007) doesn’t envisage developemnt of nuclear energy (NPP); No nuclear installation exists; no nuclear plant, no other fuel-cycle facility; no research reactor and no other facility for production of radioactive substances (forbidden by the Law on Ionising Radiation Protection and Radiation Safety); Small size of the country with small number of users of radioactive material; Montenegro has very few activities related to ionising radiation and is free of nuclear plants. The use of radioactive materials is limited to the application in medicine, industry, agriculture, training and scientific research (universities), and thus the number of radioactive sources in Montenegro is very low;

6. Chapter 15: Energy M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Regulatory framework related to protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionizing radiations is established in Montenegro (articles 30-38 Euroatom Treaty). Strategy on Ionizing Radiation Protection, Radiation Safety and Radioactive Waste Management with the Action Plan (2011); National Strategy for Emergency Situation (2006); National Plan of Action in Case of a Radiological Accident (2010); Law on Ionizing Radiation Protection and Radiation Safety ("Official Gazette of Montenegro", No. 56/09, 58/09, 40/11) and 17 implementing regulations Law on transport of dangerous goods ("Official Gazette of Montenegro", No. 5/8, 40/11); Law on Inspection Supervision ("Official Gazette of Montenegro", No. 5/8, 40/11); other horisontal acts (strategies, plans, laws, regulations) Chapter 15: ENERGY Euratom Treaty: Euratom Treaty: Health and safety

Chapter 15: Energy M O N T E N E G R O Negotiating Team for the Accession of Montenegro to the European Union Chapter 15: ENERGY Euratom Treaty: Euratom Treaty: Guarantees for peaceful uses TRANSPOSITION Although Montenegro has no nuclear power reactors or nuclear fuel cycle facilities, nuclear techniques have been used as peaceful use of nuclear energy in the medical field, agriculture, industry and research and science (universities). No iterest for supply of ores and nuclear fuels Regulatory framework infrastructure is established for Safegurad system (inspection, sanctions, accounting) in order to make certain that nuclear materials are not diverted from intended uses IMPLEMENTATION There is a need for establishment of training center in order to strenghten the administrative capacities as well as proffesionally exposed persons, NGO’s, journalists and population Portal monitors THE MAIN CHALLENGES Challenges are related to implementation such as emergencies exercises as well as border control of radioactive and nuclear material. The main implementation challenges are related to significant investments needed for above mentioned.
